Brooks helped lead the Delta Kings to a second-place finish in the TCAL and a berth in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I playoffs, throwing for a league-high 2,902 yards and 36 touchdowns. Both marks were fourth-best in the section.

St. Mary's receiver Bryan Pascual was named offensive player of the year, Stagg's Ricky Hodges and St. Mary's Na'im McGee were named defensive players of the year, Joey Carl of St. Mary's was named offensive lineman of the year, Matt Watts of St. Mary's was named defensive lineman of the year, and Stagg's Don Norton was named coach of the year.

The first team offense is quarterback Cedrick Phillips of McNair; running backs Jonathan Stark of McNair, Edison's Calvin Gray and Tokay's Bryson Schreiner; wide receivers Pascual, Andre Lindsey of Stagg, McNair's Carl Coleman, Tokay's Clark Hunter and Jaelin Ratliff of St. Mary's; offensive linemen Andres Flores and Nicholas Vang of Stagg, Carl and Matt Ray of St. Mary's, and Josh Stiborek of West; punter Sawyer Hicks of St. Mary's; and utility player Lester Williams of Stagg.

Coach Dragan Bakic reported the players from St. Mary's who made the All-Sac-Joaquin Section teams: senior Derek Clappis was named to the first team and was designated as one of the section's top three players, which means he will be named an All-American this season. Luis Araya made the second team and was the only freshman boy nominated in the section, and junior Tyler Maroney was an honorable mention.

Senior Arianna Ghavani was named to the first team, and Madasone Butler, the only freshman girl nominated in the section, was named to the second team. Natalie Steinkamp was an honorable mention.
